1. Evaluation of comparing electricity
bills
Landywood Primary School, England
June/July 2013 and 2014
August 2013 and 2014
December 2013 and 2014

2. June/July 2013 June/July 2014
As you can see from the bill dated ‘June/July 2014’, the units of electricity
used have decreased! Pleasing results.We created ‘Eco-warrior’ roles and
produced informative posters to remind both staff and children to turn off
any lights, computers and other electrical items when not in use.

3. August 2013 August 2014
As you can see from the bill dated ‘August 2014’, the units of electricity
used have increased! During the Summer holidays, essential building work
and maintenance took place which unfortunately prevented us from seeing
the impact our project has had. In addition to this, our site is still used
everyday by holiday club and a private nursery.

4. December 2013 December 2014
As you can see from the bill dated ‘August 2014’, the units of electricity
used have increased! Disappointing results. Unfortunately, during the
Christmas holidays, our school suffered a severe flood. For several weeks,
electric heaters had to be used in order to dry out the classrooms so
learning could resume as normal. Extra heating was used and again, builders
were in using electrical tools/equipment. In addition to this, electricity
costs increased and our winter was considerably harsher than the previous
year. Taking all of these factors on board, the increase isn’t as dramatic as
one expected.

5. Our next steps:
•To hold a meeting with our Eco-warriors to discuss more ways of
promoting ‘saving energy’
•Record a log of any unusual building work or changes to
computers/electrical items (More purchased?)
•Compare and discuss bills with Comenius partners – discuss their
bills/results
•Evaluate and compare bills from June 2013 and June 2015
